Hi-
This morning I was asked if I can work with this boy on reading and
vocabulary.

In school, he is actually at  a high-functioning four-point level and does
better in
grammar and more 'exacting' exercises than in reading, vocabulary and
unseens.

My task is to push him forward in the latter areas. Until now his mother
has been
reading with him but his form of teenage rebellion is that he doesn't want
to do this
arrangement any more;  he is super-quiet and reserved. My advice to her was
to just
concentrate on being his mother and not put other points of conflict in the
middle!

So, I am looking for reading sources that are suitable for a Hebrew
native-language
 speaking English learner. His school text and workbook are: 'It Makes
Sense."

  I want them to be interesting to him.  And, I would also like to expose
him to
different types of literature. I do NOT want to just depend only  on the
various Unseen
 books which is what they are doing in school, practicing and for tests..

What are your suggestions?!

Have a good one-----
